Recently, a new theatre tour saw its première in Amsterdam’s Royal Theatre Carré, called “Daughters of Africa”. The sound is provided by Kater audiotechniek and Van Dijk SoundSupport.
Daughters of Africa is the successor of the African Mamas tour from 2009, that attracted more than 175,000 visitors. For this new show, twelve young women were selected from eight different African countries: Their diversity and cultural backgrounds are the theme of this vibrant show, accompanied by a live band.
For the première in the 1,800-seat theatre, attended by Princess Máxima, The Ribbon Network member Jan van Dijk deployed a large Alcons system, consisting of 30 units LR14 ultra-compact line-array systems.
Two main clusters were built upon twelve units LR14 line-array and four units LR14B line-array bass each. Two groundstacked arrays of three LR14 units and two SR9 acted as in-fill speakers. The complete system was driven by DDP-completed ALC2 and ALC4 amplified loudspeaker controllers.
“The very well-controlled projection, combined with the outstanding sonic performance made the LR14 the right system for this show”, according to Jan: “Looking at the positive comments we received, Alcons was again the right choice.”
